Introduction to Events

The Events feature is a great way to let members know about upcoming open days, concerts, parties, festivals, carnivals, in fact any thing that's going on that other Hanoverworld members may want to know about, either within your estate or outside. You can even organize in-person meet ups using the Events feature on Hanoverworld. You can invite anyone to join your event, even people who haven't yet joined Hanoverworld!

Each event can include a description section, a comment wall, and a list of RSVPs. As an event creator, you can choose the event's features and privacy and send a broadcast message to everyone who has been invited to the event based on their RSVP.

Create your own event

Creating an event on Hanoverworld is a great way to let people know about important upcoming events. These events can range from real-life meetups to online chat sessions. To create an event, go to the Events tab and click the link to "Add an Event."

Next, fill in information about your event. Required fields include event name, event image, description, event type, start time, and location. You'll want to upload an image that's roughly square in size. In the "description" field, you can add text, hyperlinks, images, and even files.

If you'd like, you can add an end time, street, city or town, website or map, and phone number for your event.

By default, any event you add to Hanoverworld will appear as organized by you and will link to your profile page. However you can change who the event is organized by if you'd like in the "Organized By" field.

Don't forget to choose the privacy settings for your event! Anyone can RSVP to a public event, while only invited people can RSVP to private events. However some information about private events will still be visible to all members of your social network, including the title, start time, event type, and organizer. You can also choose to disable RSVP altogether or hide the guest list.

Make your event private

As the event creator, you can make your event private or public. A private event means that only invited people can RSVP, but some information about the event will be visible to all members of your social network on the list of events by date, by type, and by location, as well as on "My Events" for members who have RSVP'd to the event.

Private events were implemented to give event creators a choice about who could RSVP, not as hidden or secret events. If you're thinking of making an event, keep in mind that those not invited to a private event will still be able to see it.

Invite people to your event

To spread the word about your event, invite people to RSVP! You can invite people by typing in email addresses, selecting from your list of friends across Hanoverworld, importing your web address book, or importing from an address book application.

To invite people to an event, go to the group's page and click the "Invite More People" link. People will need to join the social network in order to join the group.

Click "Create Event" and your event will be added to the social network!

RSVP to an event

To RSVP to an event you've been invited to, head to the Events tab and click on the event you want to RSVP to.

On the right side of the page, locate the "Your RSVP" box. Choose your RSVP option. To change your RSVP, simply click the "Change RSVP" link on the Event's page.

Edit your event's information

To update your Event, go to the event's page and locate the "Admin Options" section. To change anything about your event, click the "Edit Event" link. You can change any information about the event, including the privacy level of the event, and even close it to new attendees.

You can always make changes to your event once it's been created. You can quickly edit the location or event type from the Event's page, or edit any of the other fields you filled out when creating your event.

If you make changes to your event, you may want to let people who have been invited to the event know. As an event creator, you can opt to send a message to people who are attending, people who might attend, people who haven't yet RSVPed, or people who are not attending.

You can send people an update - or a reminder about your event - by returning to the Event's page and clicking the "Send Message to Guests" link.

Send a message to the guests of your event

You can easily send messages to guests of your event by following these steps: On the event detail page, look for the "Admin Options" box. Click on "Send Message to Guests."

Choose which guests you'd like to send your message to and write your message below. Click "Send" and you're all set!
